Obama’s Science Advisor – John
Holdren – stated: “Climate
change is real. It's accelerating. It is caused in substantial part by
human activity. It is dangerous. And it is getting more so.” [http://www.aip.org/fyi/2009/033.html]

Acceleration has been caused by selective trend
calculation (i.e. cherry-picking). The following figure compares (left) the
above sea level data (1.6 mm/yr) with (right) more recently reported rate of
3.1 mm/yr. By using a start year of 1993 – at the bottom of a dip in the
trend, a spurious calculation of 3.1 is obtained. In reality the recent data
is in line with the long-term trend – the “acceleration” is artificial.

Acceleration has also been produced through data
adjustments. The following figure compares the sea level data through 2009 (from
above-right – changed to the magenta line below) and the same data through
2005 from an older EPA report. The older data has more recently been adjusted
downwards to artificially create an “acceleration” of sea level rise.

The report states “Note that for shorter recent
periods, the slope is greater, indicating accel­erated warming.”

What they are obfuscating is
the variation in the actual data as well as the fact that the warming occurs
on a 60-year cycle. The calculation of linear trends with disregard to the non-linear
cyclical nature gives erroneous (or dishonest) results.

The following figure shows the
HadCRU temperature data that went into developing the above graph, along with
orange lines indicating the 60-year cycle. The red
line on the figure below shows the 0.74 degrees per century (shown in purple
above), while the green line shows the 1.28
degrees per century (shown in orange above). The linear warming trend shown
when accounting for the cycle is actually about 0.3-0.4 degrees per century
as shown by the blue line on the figure
below based on the trend in the peaks of the 60-year cycle.

The warmest year globally was 1998 – since then there has
been no warming. Again, no acceleration.

NASA’s chief alarmist – James Hansen
– is in charge of data manipulation. And “What
James Hansen believes is that global warming is accelerating.” [http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/17/60minutes/main1415985.shtml]
Hansen has reported global temperatures various times over the last three
decades. He has produced a progressive reduction in the 1960s cooling to try
to hide the 60-year cycle, as shown in the following figure comparing Hansen 2007 with Hansen
1987 and Hansen 1981:

He has also manipulated US temperatures. The following
figure compares Hansen 2001 (red / blue) with Hansen 1999 (black), and
highlighting some of the significant changes. Temperatures in the 1930s were
reduced and temperatures in the 1990s were increased. Hansen creates artificial
acceleration.

The alarmists blame “climate
change” on the burning of fossil fuels. Nature magazine says: “human activities are almost
certainly the cause. That case is supported by multiple, robust lines of
evidence, including several that are completely independent of the climate
reconstructions debated in the [CRU] e-mails”. Unfortunately the only
line of evidence that is ever cited is the output of climate models. “Denialists often maintain that
these changes are just a symptom of natural climate variability. But when climate
modellers test this assertion by running their simulations with
greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide held fixed, the results bear little
resemblance to the observed warming. The strong implication is that increased
greenhouse-gas emissions have played an important part in recent warming,
meaning that curbing the world's voracious appetite for carbon is essential”.

No real evidence – just defective models.

The UN Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) reported in 2006: “Most
people assume that global warming is caused by burning oil and gas. But in
fact between 25 and 30 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the
atmosphere each year – 1.6 billion tonnes – is caused by deforestation.
… Delegates of the 46
developing countries present at the Rome workshop signalled their readiness
to act on deforestation, 80 percent of which is due to increased farmland
to feed growing populations. … But they also stressed that they needed
financial help from the developed world to do the job.” [http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000385/index.html].
(See: http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/Deforestation.htm)

The U.S. can do nothing on its
own to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions. The following figure from
the Global Carbon Project compares CO2 emissions between developed and
developing nations. The growth of emissions is in the developing nations is
outpacing the emissions from developed nations and now exceeds that of the
developed nations (acceleration of developing nations emissions – not
developed nations). [http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/carbonbudget/08/files/GCP2009_CarbonBudget2008.pdf]

Obama and his advisors think it
is dangerous: "At a time of great fiscal challenges, this
legislation is paid for by the polluters who currently emit the dangerouscarbon emissions that contaminate the water we drink and pollute the air
we breathe” (from “Obama urges Congress to move
swiftly on climate change bill” [http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jun/23/obama-climate-change-congress])
(When he thinks it pollutes drinking water and implying pollution for
breathing, you know he is ignorant of the science, and his advisor is giving
him bad advice.)

The only thing accelerating
is the artificial manipulation of data to justify spurious claims by the
alarmists.

And when Obama and others want
to impose societal regulations based on these false claims – that is dangerous.

Opposing View

In keeping with Obama’s desire
for web sites to provide opposing views, I have added this section (in hopes
of keeping the thought police at bay).

Cass Sustein – Obama’s
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs stated: “sites of one point of view
would agree to provide links to other sites … if we could get voluntary
arrangements in that direction it would be great - and if we can’t get
voluntary arrangements maybe congress should hold hearings about mandates.”

Obama said: “If you’re a fan of Glenn Beck …
try reading a few columns on the Huffington Post website. It may make your
blood boil… The practice of listening to opposing views is essential for
effective citizenship.”

The Huffington Post says: “Global Warming: A localized
pause and then the end of our civilization … if world population is only
reduced by a billion, I will be amazed.”
